We have been living with things undone for quite a while. No handles on our kitchen cabinets, no trim in the kitchen, no knobs on our washer/dryer doors, 11x4 foot hole in our wall, no sink in the downstairs bathroom, and a partially remodeled upstairs bathroom. After 1 1/2 years, we found bathroom vanities at Costco that we liked. So, we have forced ourselves into a remodeling project we weren't expecting. Last Saturday we had torn the upstairs bathroom up, toilet in the shower, holes in the wall, the whole deal. Well, we were also working on the plumbing downstairs as well. We had a bunch of tools and parts in the downstairs bathroom as we worked on it. Kaitlyn had to run over to B and Jenn's house to use the bathroom. Then, that night she went to use it and the flushing handle broke, so they had to open the top to flush it. I fixed it that night while she was asleep. The next day she quietly gets up, goes to the bathroom, then comes running into the living room where we were making breakfast. She exclaimed, "It works, it works!! The toilet really works!" and she ran and gave us both hugs. Cara and I learned to enjoy the simple things in life!
